The United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) has issued a serious warning about a rapid rise in violence across northern Mozambique. Intensifying attacks have now spread into districts previously considered safe.
This escalation has triggered a massive and sudden wave of displacement. More than 100,000 people have been forced to flee their homes in the past week alone.
The UNHCR states that the situation is creating a severe humanitarian crisis. The agency is calling for urgent international support to aid the growing number of displaced civilians.
